Hey,

I'm probably a bit older than the average noob... 33... Married with kid (9)

Recently I've found that I can only really stand to listen to 90's HipHop, classical and jazz...

I tend to struggle with today's 'Pop-Hop' but am finding some decent UK-HipHop...

I'd like to start with a 90's (Tribe Called Quest) kinda sound and then take it my own way...

I played and sang in rock'n'roll bands as a youth but no real experience in creating electronic music or making it solo...

I like the idea of being able to play live and have been researching methods I can create beats/music... The electribe samplers (either the es-1 or the newer esx) look like a good in-route for what I'd like to do...

I also have ideas of being able to incorporate hip-hop beats into my creative theatre practice...

Anyway... Cheers!
Dave

Welcome aboard! I guess you are a bit on the young end of the old end of the newbie spectrum !

The electribes are amazing little beasties for live work and for creating grooves so I think you'll find that any loop-based production you want to do you'll be able to with ease. I recommend the ESX-1 if you can swing it, it really is worlds away from the ES-1. Both are great though and eminently portable. Plus, you can decide whether the performance itself should be the attraction or you can tuck them out of the way if you prefer- gotta have options!

Cheers, welcome and enjoy!
